Mr. Bilello's presentation will take place during the afternoon of day 2 of the conference, on 20 February. Like other applications, a product lifecycle management (PLM) solution can and should play a major role in an enterprise's overall application architecture. It is critical that an organization understands the role PLM should play within its application architecture, and what processes are and should be within its scope. At the core, an enterprise's application architecture should be governed by the organization's Business Platform that

Granta Design today announced that AECC Commercial Aircraft Engines (AECC CAE) has selected the GRANTA MI™ software to meet its materials information management requirements.

COMSOL is excited to announce the COMSOL Days 2018 schedule of events for the worldwide tour. COMSOL Days offer a full day program with technical presentations and breakout sessions focusing on major application areas of multiphysics simulation. COMSOL Days are free-of-charge, welcoming engineers and researchers to connect with COMSOL software users, get inspired by invited speakers, and meet with COMSOL technical staff. The events begin with an overview of the COMSOL Multiphysics® software and how apps can be used to spread simulation throughout an organization. The program offers different tracks and learning opportunities for new and experienced simulation users on a variety of topics and disciplines. Attendees at a COMSOL Day event will leave with the knowledge of how to use simulation to boost productivity and optimize design and research methods. “COMSOL Days is an investment we make into building the user community” says Jeff Hiller, VP of Sales, COMSOL, Inc. “We

Altair will present its comprehensive technology and expertise for the design, optimization, and simulation of composite structures and materials at this year's JEC World, the largest international composites industry show, March 6-8 in Paris.  The Altair-hosted opening day conference session for “Simulation-driven Design for Composites" will feature presentations from companies including Airbus, CETIM, Gordon Murray Design Limited, and Pronal demonstrating how Altair helped them create innovative products and improve their development processes for composites.  The Altair session will also feature a presentation by Atanas Zhelev, Chief Architect at DigitalArchitects, on modern organic architectural designs using innovative composite materials. Complementing his presentation is one of this year's highlighted products at Altair's booth (N90/hall 5A), the "Sella Chair" by Mr. Zhelev and Mariya Korolova, made of a high-performance wood-carbon composite material. It was developed to evaluate the performance of this design and manufacturing method on a larger scale, and considers architectural

Panaya announced today that Panaya has expanded its footprint in the Enterprise Agile Delivery market. Since RDX’s (Release Dynamix) release last May, Panaya’s cloud-based application lifecycle management solution has been adopted by over 70 customers including global names such as Repsol, Ralph Lauren, Loreal, Mercedes, and BioMarin. In efforts to keep pace with digital transformation, enterprises are increasingly trying to implement agile and DevOps into their delivery cycle to ensure quality, frequent releases. RDX significantly shortens Enterprise IT release cycles, on average from several months to a few weeks by bringing together the fragmented delivery toolchain into one platform. With visibility into release scope and quality from development until ready for production, organizations have actionable insights to better assess and manage risk. By moving from reactive to proactive decision making, IT is poised to deliver fast, predictable, quality releases to enhance overall business agility. Other milestones in 2017 for Panaya include: Release of Panaya RDx for Salesforce providing rapid,

Granta Design today announced that it has released to the Additive Manufacturing (AM) community key details of the 'Schema' (the underlying data structures) behind its AM data management solution. The GRANTA MI:Additive Manufacturing Package is the industry-leading software for managing data within AM development projects. In publishing the Schema information, Granta aims to encourage projects to systematically manage AM data and to support development of Standards. The information is available in an “Additive Manufacturing Schema Summary Document”, available for download from the Granta website. GRANTA MI:Additive Manufacturing has been under development since 2010, when AM technology itself was more commonly known as “rapid prototyping”. At this early stage, Granta identified this complex materials domain as a prime technology area where robust, pedigreed, and version-controlled data would be required to support design and manufacturing. Since then, Granta has built tools to support the optimization of AM processes and the robust data management

Boston Engineering today announced that PTC has elevated the company to Platinum Solutions Partner and has formally named it an Internet of Things (IoT) ThingWorx® Solutions Partner. The news reflects pressing business requirements to develop and manage smart, connected products across Boston Engineering's commercial, government, and medical clients. IoT initiatives typically falter because organizations can't align the "Internet" (data and connectivity) with the "Things" (physical products) to improve service and other operations. Boston Engineering bridges this gap by combining new product development consulting with PLM solutions that provide the product development tools, managed services, and strategy to enable powerful IoT and augmented reality (AR) capabilities. "IoT and augmented reality advancements are providing organizations with unprecedented opportunities to gain deeper business insights, to plan with added confidence, and to roll out new programs quickly," said Bob Treiber, president and co-founder of Boston Engineering. "Boston Engineering is uniquely positioned to develop innovative products and to align smart product capabilities with
